Wiring issue please help

Hello I have a 1993 Ford F-250 with a 7.3 nonturbo. Today I was driving while pulling a trailer and noticed my dash lights were not on. So I though maybe I blew a fuse. So then I was backing the trailer in a drive way with my 4-ways on and looked down noticed my arrows on the instrument cluster we're not flashing but lit up. Then I look down and saw smoke coming from the round blinker relay. So I hurried and unhooked the batteries. The blinker relay was hot so I unhooked it. I checked all fuses all are good. Still have no dash light or marker lights. I have head lights. When I use the blinker the dash lights flash with the blinker. When I use the brakes the dash lights come on when I press the pedal and the wires that go to the brake light switch get hot. So I unhooked it. Now the dash lights do nothing when I use the brakes or blinker. When I unhooked the trailer my 4-ways work without getting hot but still have no dashlights.Please help

Got it all fixed. It blew a fuse I did not check. The trailer is what made all this happen. Will have to go through all the wiring on the trailer before I plug it in again.
